Make Memphis!

Shepherding Ideas Into Action

Hello world!

As we come upon the end of 2015, Make Memphis! is about to celebrate two years as a group of like-minded Memphians reaching out to make our city a better place to live. We started out strong, partnering with Ioby in order to take several community-oriented ideas and bring them to fruition. And while our Facebook group has continued to grow over the years to become a place where people can share ideas and connect, we can’t help but think that we could be doing more.

That’s where this new site comes into play. We’ll be adding op-eds from folks who have big ideas on how to make Memphis a more livable city. We’ll dissect the decisions our leaders are making and decide as citizens whether they are serving us or serving themselves. We’ll be adding a podcast where we discuss what makes our city unique and what we can do to overcome some of our biggest obstacles, like crime, blight, and disintegrating neighborhoods and schools.
